“We have been preparing for this day and I think the right time has come for the best side to prove its ability,”
“The playing format is always the same for all the games we have played; attacking and defensive game is all that my team is going to display in order to win this game which will take us through to the finals,” Ntagwabira said, adding that the rest comments were reserved for the players who are obliged to play a vital role in awarding the club their lone silverware since their promotion to the Primus National League two seasons ago.
